The Perfect 10: Drafting a Dream Team in Round 10 and Later
Derrick Jones Jr. in the 2020 Dunk Contest (Sorry, Aaron Gordon). Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci during the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Miss Davis working at the Landing Strip in Varsity Blues. Our lives are defined by perfect 10s. Thankfully, we can take this same principle and apply it to our fantasy drafts. After you’ve taken the […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Likely To Continue Dinking And Dunking
No quarterback had a lower percentage of passes over 20 yards in 2019 than San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, according to Pro Football Focus. The Niners added wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the first round of last month's draft, but he's more of a run-after-the-catch prospect. The plan of short throws and long runs […]

Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis (Wide Receiver)
It's never too early for some fantasy football rankings, right? We here at RotoBaller firmly believe that, which is why we've already done rankings for the 2020 season. Standard. PPR. Dynasty. (Click the word "dynasty" to go see our complete dynasty rankings.) But what are rankings without some kind of context by which to understand […]
Updated Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Post-NFL Draft Risers and Fallers
As the calendar begins to lean towards the summer, that tells fantasy owners to ramp up their preparations for the upcoming season. But what is on tap first for many is the rookie draft. We've been through the scouting combine, the NFL Draft has come and gone, and we know where these rookies will be […]
49ers Haven't Decided On Starter At Weakside Linebacker
The San Francisco 49ers have not determined who will be their starting weakside linebacker in 2020, and it's a significant spot because they will stay on the field in nickel packages. It will come down to Dre Greenlaw or Kwon Alexander, with the loser of the competition serving as the team's SAM linebacker. Greenlaw, 23 […]
Raheem Mostert Puts On Muscle
San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert said that he has put on more muscle this offseason and thinks it's necessary in order to shoulder a 200-carry workload in 2020. Mostert, 28, became the team's lead back in the second half of last season and during the Super Bowl run in the postseason. He tallied […]

Tight Ends to Prioritize or Fade in Standard vs. PPR Leagues
It feels impossible--even more with the current pandemic we're experiencing still ongoing worldwide--but the NFL offseason can be considered over in terms of high-impact moves. The first-year draft and free agency are long gone, most players have extended their deals or found new homes, and teams are ready to start moving the rock come the […]
Beginner's Luck: Selling Rookies Who Could Regress
When I say "dynasty fantasy football," one of the first things you probably think is "young players!" In leagues where you're keeping guys for years, having young guys is obviously a good way of building a team. But just hoarding players in the first three or four seasons is not a clear path to a dynasty, and […]
Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight
Before the 2019 football season began, a common refrain among fans of losing NFL franchises became "Tank for Tua!" The growing legend of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at perennial championship game participant Alabama had cemented him as the top prospect in the nation. The idea of piling on losses to grab a potential franchise-changing quarterback is […]
Draft Sleepers That Could Be League Winners
Last year, players like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews could have been drafted in the ninth round or later. They both went on to finish in the top three of their position. Throw in Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, and we had a […]

49ers Cautiously Optimistic About Jerick McKinnon
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said all the signs are encouraging for running back Jerick McKinnon (knee) to make a strong recovery from his knee issues.
